Gas Pressure Regulator
The gas pressure regulator supplied with this range must be
used. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for
proper operation:
Natural gas:
Minimum pressure: 5" WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" WCP
LP gas:
Minimum pressure: 11" WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet
pressure.
Burner Input Requirements
Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for
elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).
For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a
rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (not
applicable for Canada).
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least
1" water column pressure above the manifold pressure shown on
the model/serial rating plate.
Line pressure testing above ½ psi gauge (14" WCP)
The range and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of
that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at ½ psi gauge (14" WCP) or lower
The range must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to
or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
To Convert Gas Pressure Regulator
NOTE: If the range will be using the same gas before and after
conversion, it is not necessary to convert the gas pressure
regulator. Ranges are set for Natural gas from the factory. If you
are using Natural gas, no gas pressure regulator conversion is
needed. Continue with "To Convert Surface Burners" in this
section.
1. Remove storage drawer, warming drawer or premium storage
drawer. See the "Storage Drawer" or "Warming Drawer or
Premium Storage Drawer" section in the Installation
Instructions provided with the range.
2. Locate gas pressure regulator at rear of storage or warming
drawer compartment.
NOTE: On models with a warming drawer, an access cover
must be removed to access the gas pressure regulator.

5. For Natural Gas:
Turn over the gas pressure regulator cap and reinstall on
regulator so that the solid end faces out and the marking
"
NG" is facing the direction shown in the above drawing.
For LP gas:
Turn over the gas pressure regulator cap and reinstall on
regulator so that the hollow end faces out and the marking
"
LP" is facing the direction shown in the above drawing.
6. Replace plastic cover over gas pressure regulator cap.
To Convert Surface Burners
1. Remove burner cap.
2. Using a Phillips or Quadrex
base.
NOTE: Reinstall one of the screws through the range cooktop
to hold the orifice spud holder in place while removing and
replacing the orifice spuds.
